Simplify (x3 +  3x2 + 5x – 4) –  (3x3 – 8x2 – 5x + 6)

The first thing I have to do is take that "minus" sign through the parentheses containing the second polynomial. Some students find it helpful to put a "1" in front of the parentheses, to help them keep track of the minus sign.

Here's what the subtraction looks like, when working horizontally:

(x3 + 3x2 + 5x – 4) – (3x3 – 8x2 – 5x + 6)

(x3 + 3x2 + 5x – 4) – 1(3x3 – 8x2 – 5x + 6)

(x3 + 3x2 + 5x – 4) – 1(3x3) – 1 (–8x2) – 1(–5x) – 1(6)

x3 + 3x2 + 5x – 4 – 3x3 + 8x2 + 5x – 6

x3 – 3x3 + 3x2 + 8x2 + 5x + 5x – 4 – 6

–2x3 + 11x2 + 10x –10

And here's what the subtraction looks like, when going vertically:

−8x

+5x

−5x

​

+6)

​

​

In the horizontal addition (above), you may have noticed that running the negative through the parentheses changed the sign on each and every term inside those parentheses. The shortcut when working vertically is to not bother writing in the subtaction sign or the parentheses; instead, write the second polynomial in the second row, and then just flip all the signs in that row, "plus" to "minus" and "minus" to "plus".

Either way, I get the answer:

–2x3 + 11x2 + 10x – 10

The half-life of uranium-235 is 700 million years. If you start with 50 atoms of it, how many will you have left after 700 milli
Alecsey [184]
The answer is
A half life pertains to the time it takes for exactly half of a substance to disappear. So, if U235 has a half life of 700 million years, it will take 700 <span>million years for half of it to decay. That would leave .5kg or 500g.</span>

Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (4,1) and (-6,9). Put your answer in fully reduced point-slope for
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

<u>Find the slope:</u>

  • m = \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1} = \frac{9 - 1}{-6 - 4} = -\frac{8}{10} = -\frac{4}{5}

<u>Use point-slope form and one of the points:</u>

  • y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
  • y - 1 = -\frac{4}{5}(x - 4)

Find the
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

54 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of an equilateral triangle is

A = \frac{s^2\sqrt{3} }{4}  ( s is the side length ) then

\frac{s^2\sqrt{3} }{4} = 81\sqrt{3} ( multiply both sides by 4 to clear the fraction )

s²\sqrt{3} = 324\sqrt{3} ( divide both sides by \sqrt{3} )

s² = 324 ( take the square root of both sides )

s = \sqrt{324} = 18

Thus

perimeter = 3 × 18 = 54 cm
